Bundesliga: Stuttgart 2-3 Dortmund
Hummel and Reus after the match, taking and smiling.
Reus and Moritz Leitner after the match. With the win, Dortmund are now in 10th position, Stuttgart at the bottom of the pile. This is football
Reus and Auda- I caught some of the match yesterday, and the team seem to have a different air about them, and Reus doesn't look as frowny as he did at the start of the season/rickrunde (sp). That being said, defence mofos, do you speak it? As soon as Dortmund got a goal, they gave away one
Hugs time
Marco Reus all over the place! He was really on fire last night
Stuttgart's players were despondent. When the fans have to comfort the players you know that's bad
OP: done. Sorry for the truncated post, have to go to the post office. Gahh
